Cast in the Haze (Been There Four Days) Lyrics
I'm happy today because I'm in love and feeling afraid
Oh, I hop off the train singing your name
I knock on your door, I don't know what to say
When you answer I just smile and say, "Hey!"
I'm happy today, I'm up on a cloud
And caught in the fray
Oh, I'm pacing the floor in the scarf that I wore
On the day that we met by the old statuette
Of an infant in the nude
We both thought it was lewd
It's a gas to be cast in the haze
And I've been there for days
Yes, I've been there for days
I wanted to play the fabulous game you taught me yesterday
But it's impossible to play when you're away
I take all of my books and I toss them aside
I don't want to read them now
Proust pales to you, somehow
It's a gas to be cast in the haze
And I've been there for days
Yes, I've been there for days
I'm so turned on that nothing can bum my trip
It's a gas to be cast in the haze
And I've been there for days
Yes, I've been there for days
Oh, I hop off the train singing your name
I knock on your door, I don't know what to say
When you answer I just smile and say, "Hey!"
And caught in the fray
Oh, I'm pacing the floor in the scarf that I wore
On the day that we met by the old statuette
Of an infant in the nude
We both thought it was lewd
And I've been there for days
Yes, I've been there for days
But it's impossible to play when you're away
I take all of my books and I toss them aside
I don't want to read them now
Proust pales to you, somehow
And I've been there for days
Yes, I've been there for days
I'm so turned on that nothing can bum my trip
And I've been there for days
Yes, I've been there for days

No comments? I think this song is great. Profoundly bizarre in a way that only Kevin Barnes can write. Seems to be about love and that period in a relationship when nothing else seems to matter.
"i take all of my books and i toss them aside/i don't want to read them now/ proust pales to you, somehow"--- great lines
I'm pretty sure it's "four days". At least, according to the album.
